Introduction Workbench testing is a key step in the manufacturing of semiconductor chips. Testing consists of sending electrical signals to semiconductor devices and comparing output signals to expected values. It is essential to ensure that the produced devices work according to specifications. Workbench testing is also time consuming and costly, so we do not want […]

Introduction Silicon design teams are constantly under pressure to deliver more efficient products faster, while keeping costs low. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) infrastructure teams, which provide compute, storage, and other IT resources to silicon design teams, can play a critical role in shrinking the RTL-to-GDSII cycle. Historically, compute capacity for EDA workloads has come from […]

The deprecation of device identifiers and third-party cookies has accelerated the need for advertisers, data providers, and media companies to collaborate directly as they seek to understand customers, plan media campaigns, and analyze path-to-purchase. At the same time, privacy regulations, consumer trust, and intellectual property protection are driving the need for increased data security and governance […]

Utilities are considering the strategic advantages of modernizing their operational technology (OT) networks to drive business value. OT systems are rich with data that could be used to support simulations, incident response, and business decisions, but the networks they are connected to are often limited by the storage and compute power available onsite. An OT […]

Introduction 5G brings a range of new opportunities for telecom operators to provide personalized solutions that meet specific customer requirements. Through a combination of increased bandwidth, virtualized and software-oriented network capabilities, 5G enables the network slicing capability where a single physical infrastructure can be split into multiple network slices. Though network slices share common infrastructure, […]
